Happy New Year to all our members and followers!
We think most will agree that 2021 didn’t turn out to be the year we had hoped for, but happily we did manage to get out there and take part in some racing action, when there were plenty of personal bests collected and club records smashed. Let’s take a quick look back at what our members have achieved in 2021.
